Description
The Initiative - Bug Hunt
The Initiative's cadets are feeling proud of themselves for having helped to stop a HYDRA attack on the life of the President, but their instructors want them to set their sights higher then goons in green jumpsuits. After a super-powered combat training session with Ben Grimm, Komodo is taken aside by War Machine. He's impressed with her control of her abilities, as well as with her control over the lizard aspects of her personality. He wants to take her into the field... on a bug hunt. Gyrich is determined to make good use of Trauma's powers. In an attempt to help him master them, he introduces him to Dani Moonstar, whose powers began also as manifesting the images of someone's fears.
